EL TIGRE BGs!

I had the pleasure and honor of working with two of my heroes and idols, Jorge Gutierrez and Sandra Equihua on season 2 of TV's best kept secret, El Tigre! Working on that show was a dream come true for me and a great learning experience. Along with Jorge and Sandra I got to work with some of the top talent in animation and for that I am both humbled and grateful.

So finally Nickelodeon has decided to start airing the 2nd season and I can finally post some of the background painting I did on the show. I'm not sure who worked on which BGs but the incredibly talented team that helped create them were: Art Directors Jerry De Jesus and Roman Laney and BG designers Katrien Verbiest, Joseph Holt and Kyle Neswald. Then I tried really hard not to ruin the awesome job they did.

Enjoy!

The destroyed city BG above was actually the test I took to get the job on El Tigre. I was very excited when I found out they were going to use my test as one of the BGs on the show, and that I was going to get paid for it!
